Stella Surprised Him.
F1,om the San Froncisco ChronicLe.

from Inc san francisco Chronicle.
1t was at the play of Princess Andrea. at
the Bush Street Theatre, last week. The piece
is a quiet one of the emotional order, and II be-
gins with but little sign of interest Of that kind
usually credited as being specially attractive to
the people in the front rows of the orchestra.
The old gentleman sat down close to the stage
and finding the first act of rather an unpictur-
eSque character, he calmly allowed himself to
sink into gentle slumber He slept peacefully
for long time. The second act of the play
takes place in tho dTessng-roon
of the ballet dancer and of
course she's in costume. This act was in pro-
gress, when some noise awoke the old gentle
man. He jumped. The first things his eyes
caught was the figure of Stella in beautiful pink
tights and decollete costume, and Stella in this
case is remarkably attractive. The old gentle
man stared moment, then he rubbed his eyes
vigorously, found Stella still there, and look
came over his face that told everybody that he
was saying to himself:
Great Scott! wonder how much of this I've
missedy"
He was widely awake we'll into the third act.
and then he saw that Stella wasn't coming on
again, and he went peacefully to sleep and slept

SIZING UP THE MUGwUMP.
An Apt Story That was Told at the
West Point Dinner

Says Washington dispatch TO the Louisville
COurier-,JournoI: Among the members Of the
Board of Visitors TO West Point this year was
DR.. William Everett, of Massachusetts,. He is a
bright, clever man, and a son of the distin-
guished American orator, Edward Everett. At
the banquet given to the Board of Visitors dur
ing the closing exercises at the academy. the
doctor took occasion to inform the guests that
he was Mugvump, and wanted everybody to
know It. This statement brought Mayor Court
enay, OF Charleston, S. C., to his feet, and he
said it reminded him of a story About
the time the mugwump first sprung into exist
ence, an English lord was visiting this country,
and devoted much attention to the study of our
institutions and manners. The constant use of
the term ''mugwlrmp' during the political cam
paign attracted his notice, so one day he made
bold to ask an American friend what the word
'nugwump' meant. a Republican who votes
the Democratic ticket, was the reply.
And what do you call Democrat who votes
the Republican ticket?'' next inquired the curl
Gus Englishman.
I'D call him d-n foolr' was the friend
prompt response.
The guests are said ~ have Endorsed the hit
immensely, with, perhaps the possible excep-
ton of the mugwump from the Bay State.

How Miss Wolfe Moved Two Trees

Newport Letter in the Boston Herald
There are two trees in the grounds at Vine
land which were brought from the country seat
of Miss Wolfes fathers coming up on the Hud

gardener who had undertaken to make her do

trees and shrubs. She referred to the trans
planting.
The landscape gardener was astonished.

A every Prominent" Brother
Picked I'D bu the Detroit Tribnne.


The Central Mirror, published by the pastor
of the Central Methodist Episcopal church in
Detroit, tells the following story of a reblke
given a very prominent member of another
denomination in the southern part of this
State He was always prominent at conven-
tons, and usually presided, being man OF fine
presence and ability One day when on the
train, and so far from home he thought he
would not be known, he engaged in playing
cards. but he was recognized by two gentlemen
one of whom was an equally prominent man in
the same denomination, and he decided to
severely rebuke the ard-player. So he went to
him and said:
Are you not Mr. A. of the church in the
city of J-:''
The answer was, Eyes, am
well, am Mr.. B. of the city of l., and as
take great interest in all the churches of our
denomination and knew you were very promi-
nent in your church. thought l would ask you
If you had had any extensive revival of religion
in it recently$"
The sarcasm was biting, and with bushes the
victim had to confess that there had not He did
not relish the game after that, and as word of
his actions reached his town he Gas not been
made prominent as leader since.

New York,s Car Heating Law.


The New York papers very generally
commend the law recently enacted by the
New York legislature, and signed day or
two ago by the Governor, making it unlawful
for any steam railway TO heat its cars by
means Of stoves. The penalty for a viola
ton Of the law is 81, ZOO 1t is expected that
preparations viii be begun at once by New
York railroads for heating their cars by
means Of steam Experiments have proven
that the heating of cars by that method is
feasible.

success in New York the railroads Of other
States doubtless VIII adopt the system, and

being, have to = provide its

where stoves are used it viii have TO depend

the very near future some better way, than

for heating cars. The inventive genius of
the country has always been found equal to

AOAA4Ad4 anu TIE ALOOT movement.
Congressman Holman was asked in
Washington a day or two ago what effect
he thought the labor movement would have
upon the two great political parties. He is
reported to have said that, in his opinion.
the movement was great political prob
lem, and that nobody could foretell what its
influence would be. He said that he thought
that the Democratic party was in a good
shape, and that the administration was
strong with the people, because it was sin
cere and honest in guarding the interests of
the people, but this labor movement, he
admitted, may upset all calculations
The politicians of bosh political parties

They all seem satisfied that the labor marty

growing disposition among them TO take a
prominent part in politics. There are am
bilious men in them who intend to use them
If they can 10 advance their political for

One of the reasons why Mr.. Powdelly Is
not as popular as he might be is his opposi-
ton to the knights of Labor becoming a po-
litical organization. Already quite a strong
combination has been formed to go TO the
convention which meets at Minneapolis 10

the followers of Henry George, and Dr.
McGlynn's Anti-Poverty Society people.
Steps have already been taken TO unite
them all for political purposes. Canvassers
have visited the tenement quarters in New
York city and pledged the voters found
there 10 support labor ticket 1t is said
that between 5000 and 5000 pledges
have been obtained This looks as
il the labor movement would have
strong support in that city. Doubtless
the same programme viii be carried out in
other industrial cities next year. Indeed, il
is not improbable that it may be inaugur-
ated this year, because those who are man
aging this labor movement are impatient to
achieve results. If they cannot exercise a
potent influence in national affairs they at
least hope to control the labor of the coun-
try and manage municipal matters in the
larger cities.
1t may be thought that Congressman
Holman attaches too much Importance to
the labor movement, but it will hardly be
denied that the facts already disclosed with
regard to it are sufficient to arrest the at
tention of the leaders of both the Demo
cratic and Republican parties. If it proves
TO be as formidable as it at present promises
to be one or the other of these parties will
suffer a very considerable loss of strength
1t is hardly probable that one will lose
about as many votes as the other The in
teresting question is, which will be the
heavier loser!

Scandal MOngers.

From the NeU Orleans Pcdyune.
Do you hear the scandal nrongers
Passing by.
Breathing poison in a whisper,
In sigh?
Moving cautiously and slow,
Smiling sweetly as they go.
Never noisy-gliding smoothly as a snake
Slipping here and sliding there
Through the meadows fresh and fair,
Leaving subtle slime and poison in their wake.
Saw you not the scandal monger
As she sat.
Beaming brightly meath the roses
On her hat?
In her dainty gloves and dress
Ange-like, and nothing less,
Seemed she, casting smiles and pleasing words
about.
Once she shrugged and shook her head
Raised her eyes and nothing said,
When you spoke of friends and yet it left
doubt.
Did you watch the scandal monger
At the ball!
Through the music, rhythm, beauty,
Light and all,
Moving here and moving there.
With whisper light as air,
Casting shadows on a sister-woman's fame
Just whispered word or glance,
AS she fioated through the dance,
And doubt forever hangs upon name.
You will find the scandal mongers everywhere;
Sometimes men. but often women,
Young and fair;
Yet their tongues drip foueSt slime
And they spend their leisure time
Casting mud on those who climb by work and
worth,
Shun them. shun them as you go
Shun them, whether high or low,
They are but the cursed serpents of the earth.
